A merchant vessel carrying 4 Indian nationals was struck at Ukraine's Odesa Port, the Indian Embassy in Kyiv confirmed on Sunday. The embassy said 2 crew members are safe, while information about the remaining 2 is still awaited. The vessel, MV AGN Ragnar, was hit on Saturday at the Black Sea port, which has faced repeated attacks since the Russia-Ukraine war began in 2022. The Indian mission said it is closely monitoring the situation. The incident comes days after 4 Indian seafarers were killed in another strike at Odesa, prompting India to issue a fresh safety advisory for those working on vessels in the Black Sea. (PC: X)
